Roxie's hat

We had a lovely time at Miss Roxie's second birthday yesterday afternoon! I made her this hat. It fits, but barely. I will have to make her another one a bit larger with room to grow. I really like the patterns that I used for both the hat and the flower. I altered both a bit. On the hat, I thought it would be too big, so I went with a smaller hook, obviously that was a bit misguided. Hats seem to be hard for me to fit! On the flower I did only two rounds of petals, and then added a contrasting color in the center because I really thought it needed some yellow. Super cute even though it is a bit small.

About Me

I grew up in a family of crafts people, with a fiber artist mother and a woodworking father. My maternal grandparents were also both crafty, always making things and tending garden. This family, with a make it yourself attitude, and home filled with handmade objects and furnishings has had a lifelong impact on me. While I no longer have time for much jewelry making I continue to find creative outlets via sewing, knitting, baking, gardening and so on. I love to share my creative endeavors with you.
